Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 beef steaks (about 6 ounces/170 grams each, room temperature)
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Cooking Aid:
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Thoroughly coat the steaks with a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, ensuring even coverage on all surfaces.
- Activate the air fryer and set the temperature to 400°F, allowing it to warm up for precisely 5 minutes.
- Lightly mist both sides of the seasoned steaks with olive oil spray to enhance crispiness and prevent sticking.
- Carefully position the steaks in the air fryer basket, maintaining space between them for optimal heat circulation.
- Cook the steaks for 7-9 minutes, turning them midway through the cooking process to achieve uniform doneness and a perfect medium-rare texture.
- Once cooking is complete, remove the steaks and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, allowing the internal juices to redistribute and ensure maximum tenderness.
- Slice the rested steaks against the grain and serve immediately to preserve the ideal temperature and flavor.
Notes
- Choose thick-cut steaks around 1-1.5 inches for the best air fryer results, ensuring even cooking and juicy texture.
- Pat steaks completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to help create a perfect sear and enhance browning in the air fryer.
- 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
- Allow steaks to reach room temperature before cooking, which helps them cook more evenly and prevents tough, uneven meat.
